FOIA Request to Alcona County Election Division Regarding Voting Machines Pre-Election Test Report on October 30, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to transparency and accountability in local government affairs, we at North Michigan News have submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Alcona County Election Division. This request seeks access to the pre-election test reports for voting machines used in the county's elections.
The specific details requested include the date of the test, the machine manufacturer, machine model number, and whether each machine passed or failed its test. These records are vital for us to provide comprehensive coverage and insight into the election process.
Our aim is to shed light on how these machines are tested before being deployed for use in elections. By understanding their performance during testing, we can better inform our readers about the reliability and integrity of voting machines in Alcona County.
We believe that as a media organization committed to providing accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we qualify for a fee waiver under the FOIA. This will enable us to continue our work in holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency for our readers.
We look forward to sharing these findings with you once we receive a response from the Alcona County Election Division.
